For nearly a decade, HAMILTON at New York’s Richard Rodgers Theatre, with its innovative mix of history and hip-hop, has remained “The Room Where It Happens” on Broadway. The groundbreaking Lin-Manuel Miranda production, based on Ron Chernow’s 2004 biography of founding father Alexander Hamilton, has gripped theatergoers since its 2015 debut. Immediately hailed as another milestone achievement by Miranda, who previously won a Tony Award and a Grammy for his first musical, In The Heights, HAMILTON became the most-nominated production in Tony Awards’ history and won 11 of its 16 contests, the second-largest haul in the ceremony's history. Among many other accolades, the musical earned a Pulitzer Prize in Drama, two Emmys for the stage film released on Disney+ in 2020, and a Grammy for the 2015 original Broadway cast recording, which peaked at No. 2 on the Billboard 200 chart and became the first Broadway cast album to reach Diamond certification by the RIAA in 2023. While it certainly made Lin-Manuel Miranda as much of a household name as the man behind his titular role, HAMILTON also launched the careers of his castmates, including Leslie Odom, Jr. as Aaron Burr, Phillipa Soo as Eliza Hamilton, Renée Elise Goldsberry as Angelica Schuyler, Daveed Diggs as Marquis de Lafayette/Thomas Jefferson and Anthony Ramos as John Laurens/Philip Hamilton.

This is such a remarkable show. It is so intelligent and inspiring. Musically, it is very varied and has numbers that will appeal to everyone in the audience.
It's hard to describe how thrilling and fun and heartbreaking this show is. Even though I have now seen it twice, it's so densely packed and creative, I am dying to see it again.
This was a fantastic show ... See it ... I am upset and gave it one star because Miranda was not in the show I saw ... I purchased the tickets in March and was not informed that he would not be in the show on Saturday Matinees for August and part of September .... Be very careful when you purchase your tickets ...they will not exchange your tickets.
winner on every level...musical, drama, history lesson, hip-hop...must see!
Lin Manuel Miranda and the Company of Hamilton performed a feat I long awaited.... a positive review from my 19 and 22 year old children. The music and strength of performance made Broadway accessible to the younger attendees. We all absolutely loved it and were exhausted at the end of the show since so much attention was paid. Thanks to all involved!!!!
The score, lyrics, costumes, sets, performances and presentation are spectacular. See this show whatever it costs. There's never been anything like it and I've been going to the Broadway theater since the 60's.
Hamilton defies explanation! An amazing journey of music and dance in a brand new package - hip-hop & rap. We were blown away - simply tremendous - the most exciting history lesson we have ever experienced!!
Fresh creative fun interesting but too long and not a fabulous ending. But very special event, great energy
I love the theater and try to go whenever I can. I've seen some wonderful shows this year but Hamilton is by far the most innovative, approachable, and truly delightful show I've seen in years. I highly recommend it... to EVERYONE, especially young teens studying the American Revolution. It is not your traditional musical and makes history very approachable and, dare I say, personal.
I have seen a lot of Broadway musicals, but nothing like Hamilton. When the likes of Alexander Hamilton, Aaron Burr, George Washington and Thomas Jefferson - none of whom are played by caucasian men- are communicating with one another about the American Revolution via rap and R&B ballads, surrounded by troops of 18th-century hip-hop dancers, you've got a hit on your hands. They say this multiracial musical is the American-history Les Miserables of our time; without a doubt. In one vein, it's so current: You could've heard the soundtrack in a NYC nightclub and never have known it was from a Broadway musical. Yet, in another vein, the multiracial casting, and energy and restlessness of the rap and R&B music brilliantly convey so much of our Country's past and what our founding fathers must have been feeling during those times. Simply put, this musical is phenomenal!!!! I'm sure it will be around for a while but if you're in NYC anytime soon, do what you can to get a ticket
From the minute the play started until the very end it was amazing. Hopefully it will bring history and rap to another level
What a great musical Lin made! Especially every King George's part was my favorite!!!! I will watch the musical again!!!!
What a fabulous irreverent show! Javier was perfect as was the entire cast. Kudos to Kesler Odom as well
This is a revolutionary musical in its story telling and music style. It's highly entertaining and moving.
This show was amazing! It completely blew away all of my expectations (which were extremely high)! The hype is not unwarranted. The cast is phenomenal, the music and lyrics are moving, the choreography and staging are beyond compare. Lin-Manuel Miranda is a genius. If you like to visit stage doors, the cast is accommodating and kind, signing autographs and posing for pictures. This truly is a game-changer in what is acceptable on Broadway and I hope it will not only run for a very long time, but also open the doors for other new, young artists to make their mark on this time-honored tradition.
WOW, unforgettable....unusual and full of talent....lin-manuel is genius....
I have seen a lot of theatre over the years and this is one of the best musicals that I have seen in quite a long time. Simply put it's brilliant!
The best show to ever grace Broadway with its presence, hands down. You will learn, you will laugh, you will cry, you will have the music stuck in your head forever and you will be thrilled about that.
Incredible. Absolutely phenomenal. Lin Manuel has crafted the best show I've see in New York in a long time. The music is infectious, the acting is amazing and the show is mind blowing. Sell your children to get a ticket if you have to, it's worth more than them.
Hamilton, is a bright refreshing bit of true Broadway magic. Instead of the soppy songs of yore that interrupt the flow of the play. The music in Hamilton flows naturally and tells the story to a hip hop beat and yet the music does make a nod to the former greats such as Gilbert and Sullivan. Which is a great juxtapose. Clearly the writer Lin-Manuel Miranda has great respect for Broadway and the very American art form the musical. One cannot forget the incredible casting it is a joy to see so many black and brown faces on the great White Way. The talent is clearly there which makes one wonder why most plays/musicals still only have the token minority cast member!
